Thinking of buying the 2005 Honda Pilot?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Honda Pilot for sale by us right now. Here is the 2005 Honda Pilot for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Pilot

Owners filed 679 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Reading the spec sheet

The 3.5L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 13.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 41 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $64.17 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who rents the Pilot

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

Inside and out

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Pilot for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Pilot tells you more than any review.

Narrowing it down

Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Make a request

Ask us anything about renting before you buy.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Honda Pilot from us first.
